‘Most screenwriting competitions give writers a chance to win
prizes and money. That’s cool but what writer’s REALLY want is for
someone to make their script into a film. Filmmakers awards prizes and
money but more importantly, it gives writers exposure to industry
personnel who can actually take the script from the page to the
screen. That exposure sets Filmmakers apart.

‘Filmmakers’ was one of three competitions a friend in the industry
recommended.

Script Magazine and HollywoodLitSales comment on this contest from
time to time. After entering it once, I was hooked by the
professionalism of the staff and by the feedback provided through the
announcement of results. It matters knowing at what point your script
falls short, if it does. It helps the learning process.

FilmMakers has an excellent reputation in the contest circuit, and
has lived up to it. FilmMakers also offers more than just cash prizes,
though we love those, too. Getting our scripts into the hands of
people who can make them into movies is the real prize.

Anita Skibski

A lot of the competitions out there are for cash prizes only.
FilmMakers.com was one of the few that really encompasses everything a
writer strives for. With FilmMakers, you enter into the competitive
realm of Hollywood with the ability to get your script read by
professionals in the industry, with the chance to obtain
representation. It’s also one of the few forums that does not
discriminate on geographical location. The contest is open to writers
from around the world so you are literally competing against the best.

Thank you and everyone else at Filmmakers.com for all you've done
on my behalf so far. I am indeed truly grateful... I'm very pleasantly
surprised by all the activity your contest has generated... Almost
immediately after THE SECRET BOY became a winner in your contest, it
was optioned by KONK Productions and director Chris Koch (whose
feature credits include "Snow Day" and "A Guy Thing")... I want to
thank you once again for running such a terrific contest - it's really
helped make a difference.

This is one of the few verifiably good-intentioned, astute and
rewarding competitions out here, where there is a genuine intention
for the good and favor of the writer. It’s not about taking
advantage.... There is a sincere commitment to see the committed
writer succeed with the FilmMakers.com & the Radmin company
screenwriting contest. And at best they want to be your benefactor.
And at worst, the conduit to your inevitable success. What more can
one ask?

There aren’t many contests run by people who actually know what it
takes to write a script someone might want to produce. FilmMakers and
The Radmin Company are both grounded in the realities of filmmaking.

Lorelei Armstrong

It's always nice (and rare!) to get such positive feedback.....
Just wanted to drop you a note of good news and thanks. After winning
the filmmakers.com contest, I've had a lot of doors open to me that
were previously unthinkable. More specifically, thanks in part to the
contest win, combined with the interview on the filmmakers.com website
I was able to pitch a romantic comedy idea to Harbor Light
Entertainment -- and this month they optioned it. (Harbor Light
currently has a deal at Paramount with Morgan Freeman attached). I'm
not sure I would have been able to get the attention I got if not for
your contest. So, thanks again for all your hard work!!! I really
appreciate it.

My experience from last year’s entry in
American Gem, an off-shoot
competition for shorts managed by FilmMakers, was handled very well.
Secondly, based on personal feedback, Moviebytes lists FilmMakers as
one of the best run and most influential. The other thing is the depth
of prizes. Many contests only offer first, second and third,
FilmMakers lists numerous as well as having the Top 20 and Top 10.
This makes a difference when you approach someone with your script.
